Dr. Oz Shares How You Can Help Healthcare Professionals During the Coronavirus Pandemic
"You know, just send love," the famed doctor declared."I know it doesn't sound like much, but it means a lot. Just kind notes, send it to the hospital that you're at, mail a letter instead of just posting to their website. Express your appreciation."
As Dr. Oz noted, recognizing these professionals will help give them"a little gas in the engine." He's speaking metaphorically, of course. Furthermore,star praised the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the medical professionals fighting this virus. For example, Dr. Oz highlighted how hospitals in New York have doubled hospital sizes and expanded intensive care units."These folks have figured it out, so they deserve the applause," the 59-year-old doctor relayed."And, often times, they feel like unsung heroes."While the celebrity doctor only had praise for the doctors and nurses working right now, he reminded those watching to thank everyone from the orderlies to garbage men.
"This is a time for battlefield commissions, it's a war! New York City is a war zone," Dr. Oz stated."What happens in wars? People show themselves who they really are. And there are lots of leaders out there that didn't know they were leaders—this is not just in healthcare. This is across the country in every walk of life."
In order to combat stress during this time, Dr. Oz encouraged viewers to find a way to be helpful, even if that's just donating blood.
